# 爪の縦線（vertical nail ridges）

### **爪の縦線（縦筋）とは？**

爪の縦線とは、甘皮側から爪先に向かって走る筋状の凹凸のことを指します。多くの場合、病気ではなく、爪の内部環境の変化によって生じるものです。

#### **爪に縦線ができる主な原因**

年齢を重ねると、肌や髪と同じように爪も薄くなり、弾力が失われていきます。また、爪が乗っている土台（**ネイルベッド**）も変化します。

ネイルベッドには元々縦方向の細かな溝がありますが、加齢や乾燥によりこの溝の凹凸がより深く目立つようになります。薄くなった爪がこの凹凸を十分に覆い隠せなくなることで、爪の表面に縦線として現れやすくなると考えられています。

そのほか、**指先の乾燥・水分油分不足**、栄養状態、ストレスなども縦線を目立たせる要因になります。

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpcenter.tpandco.jp/docs/definition-of-words/neirukeanisuruto/novertical-nail-ridges.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
